Great book, great price

Purchased this book for a course I am taking. The cost of the book was approx. $80 cheaper than in the college book store. The book is a great resource and is a great read. The book arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

This book came in on time and in very good conditions. Thumbs up for the seller!

Good as an introductory text to System Analysis

There are few things I can say after reading this book pretty much from cover to cover: - Nowadays there are lots of critics of structured SAD, so if you're happen to be one of them, I am pretty sure you will not give this text a good grade. While it does cover Object-Oriented SAD, it is not build upon it. This text (as it seems to me) is revolves around structured SAD using SDLC. - I liked this text because it has LOTS of colorful diagrams, screen-shots, and charts. This gives a text more alive presentation and makes it more fun to read, even though you're getting lost in terms and abbreviation. - The text has plenty of abbreviations because SAD process integrates all system components. You can imagine how much data that is, especially considering the fact of collecting that data and organizing it. - I thing this text by itself will not make you an system analyst. You will need to read more, but it serves well as an introduction to SAD. The obvious negative thing - these editions that coming up new each year are costly for students, but this is a issue of all comp. textbooks, not just this. Brief contents: -ch 1.

Good High Level Introduction to Software Engineering

This is a very digestable text for an introductory class to software analysis and engineering. I particularly liked its parallel between traditional structured and OO analysis. It is very readable. My only criticism is that it should have had the discussion on CMM and other development models to set the tone earlier on the importance of this material to the industry.

My Students Love It!

I teach systems analysis courses, and this book is an excellent text for us. It is easy to read, well-researched, and describes current real-world thinking in this field. It has many good case studies, along with an on-line virtual company case study that is unique. I highly recommend this book.
